Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson Mark 7-Year-Old True’s First Day of Second Grade with Heartfelt Tributes and an Elaborate Home Setup.
LOS ANGELES, CA – September 5, 2025 – Reality television personality Khloé Kardashian, 41, and NBA star Tristan Thompson, 34, united on Friday to celebrate a significant milestone for their daughter, True Thompson, as she embarked on her first day of second grade. The proud parents transformed their home into a festive back-to-school tableau, sharing intimate glimpses of the joyous occasion with millions of followers on Instagram.
The lavish setup, meticulously curated at Kardashian’s residence, featured a colossal decorative pink book prominently displaying the words “First Day of 2nd Grade,” surrounded by an impressive array of dozens of balloons. True, a vibrant 7-year-old, was captured in her school uniform, radiating excitement as she posed alongside her mother, her father, and her younger brother, 3-year-old Tatum. The images painted a picture of a united front in celebrating their daughter’s academic journey.
Khloé Kardashian, known for her candidness on shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians and The Kardashians, shared an emotional caption that resonated with parents everywhere. “Just like that, my baby is off to 2nd grade,” she wrote, reflecting on the swift passage of time. “Time is flying faster than I ever imagined — it feels like I blinked and my baby grew up.” She continued to express profound pride in her daughter, stating, “I’m so proud of the respectful, sweet, loving, smart, beautiful girl she is. But man, this all happens so quickly. In a blink 🥺.” Her heartfelt message concluded with a blessing for True and an acknowledgment of the deep bond between her two children: “Wishing my sweet True endless joy and asking God to watch over her always and forever. My two angels make me melt! Their smiles and bond are everything to me! 💕✨.”
Despite their complex romantic history, which saw the couple split in June 2021, Kardashian and Thompson have consistently emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their children. True was welcomed in April 2018, followed by their son Tatum, who was born via surrogate in July 2022. The former couple maintains a “great friendship,” a sentiment often reiterated by Kardashian, underscoring their dedication to fostering a stable environment for their children.
Tristan Thompson, a forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers, has also been a visible and vocal presence in his children’s lives on social media. In April 2025, he shared a touching tribute for True’s 7th birthday, featuring a carousel of photos with his daughter and her siblings. “Happy birthday Twinny!! My TuTu is 7 today!!” he penned. “I can’t believe how time flies. Momma you are literally the light that shines bright In my life. When I see you I see mommy aka GiGi. True you bring your brothers, mommy and all your cousins soo much happiness you literally spark any room you walk in. You have the best soul ever I’m soo blessed to have as my daughter. Keep being amazing each and every day. Daddy always got you. I can’t wait to play tag and jump on the trampoline. I love you Twin 🤞🏾❤️.” Just last month, in August 2025, he delighted fans with an adorable video of him playfully dancing with True, further showcasing their close bond.
Beyond True and Tatum, Thompson is a father to two other sons: Prince Oliver, 8, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig, and Theo, 3, with Maralee Nichols. This larger family dynamic further highlights the intricate personal lives of public figures navigating parenthood under constant scrutiny.
The enthusiastic celebration of True’s return to school is another testament to both Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s shared goal: to ensure their children feel loved, supported, and celebrated through every significant milestone.
